This property is clean, well-maintained, and has a helpful staff. I don't know when it opened, but it feels relatively new. It doesn't have any of the worn/beat-up feeling that many airport hotels do.

My room was large with two queen beds. It might have been more spacious than most because it was a handicap room.

I was looking for a hotel south of downtown because I was driving down to Nashville early the next morning. This property is conveniently located at the intersection of I-65 and I-264. I had to wind through a few back roads to get to the strip mall with a Starbucks, but that was just a minor inconvenience.

I highly recommend this hotel.

We chose this location for our new Corporate Training program in Louisville, KY. We've been more than impressed with the quality of service and fantastic welcome from the staff. The shuttle is convenient and reliable, the location can't be beat, and the quality of rooms and meeting spaces for the price is unparalleled. We will definitely continue to use this hotel in the future, as it provides all the amenities we could desire as well as a great location and value. All in all, working with this Holiday Inn has been a pleasant experience, the staff are very professional and client-oriented, and all of our trainees so far have had nothing but rave reviews about their experience here.

Our 4H group stayed at this hotel during our recent visit down state with our horses. We had record breaking heat everyday we were there. Everytime we returned to our hotel we were always greated with a smile, how are you doing today etc. Even when not getting back to our room until sometimes after 1am. After talking with the whole team (all 25) everyone had a great experience at all times and agreed on how accomidating the staff was. As we left our rooms for the last time we all had one thing in common.....we were sure going to miss our rooms....spotless and so comfortable. Absolutely staying here again!

I stayed in this hotel in April, just overnight and was impressed with the free hotel shuttle from the airport and the good service given by the desk personnel. I enjoyed a nice breakfast in their restaurant and used their business center (2 computers/printer). So, when I had a need in that area for a training room, I contacted them regarding my need. The board room there is really nice - glass on 2 sides which allowed a nice view outside the room. We had good service and our room accomodations were wonderful. Everyone was so nice....just one drawback - restaurant is not open for lunch, but they did provide us food in our meeting room - delicious! Also, the derby pie at dinner was excellent - I highly recomment this facility...the meeting room was a bit pricey, but all went very well.

Stayed at hotel for five nights and six days while working at University of Louisville. It's a ten minute drive to the university from the hotel. The room was very clean and well maintained for the entire stay. On the first evening I called down to the front desk to request an office chair that adjusted correctly. Within ten minutes the desk manager was at my door with a chair from the conference room. Outstanding! Working in the room for 3-5hrs/night was no problem. The internet was easy to connect to and it was nice to go right downstairs to the bar to close out the evening. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Amanda, the head bartender, was great!! I will stay again on return visits.

Room Tip: Avoid rooms under the outside signs. They are VERY bright!
